A minor-league team is swapping its name in tribute to Barack Obama. The Brooklyn Cyclones will change their name to the “Baracklyn Cyclones” for June 23 and give away 2,500 Barack Obama bobbleheads. The Single-A team will have an “Economic Stimulus Package” from Jan. 20 — Inauguration Day — until Jan. 23, selling tickets at $5-$10. In addition, the first 1,000 fans get free Band-Aids as part of “Universal Health Care,” all fans named Barack get in for free, fans named McCain or Palin get free bleacher seats (“a bipartisan consolation prize”) and any plumber named Joe gets two free tickets.
